Re: Cannot import my itunes Playlists

I have been having trouble with this for quite some time. None of my itunes songs show up under local files, and when I try to import playlists, they are just blank. I am using the latest version of Lion and Spotify.

Re: Cannot import my itunes Playlists

What on earth is taking them so long to fix this? I've seen several posts regarding this issue and Spotify hasn't said a word about this. It doesn't even sound like something that would take that long to resolve.

Re: Cannot import my itunes Playlists

same problem. endless searching, tried all suggested methods, no solution. just contacted spotify support, any chance they'll get back to me? As a premium subscriber I'm otherwise very happy, but there is literally no solution I've found yet and its driving me nuts

Re: Cannot import my itunes Playlists

Yep, it took me a great many hours to get this 'simple' task accomplished. Your method worked. Created new playlist in iTunes, gave it the same name as previous non-iTunes playlist, then dragged the m3u file and dropped it in. Seemed glitchy, tho, so I duplicated it and renamed it. Then I was able to go into Spotify and import the list from iTunes. What a freakin' hassle!! -- it doesn't need to be this hard. Hope someone fixes this soon!! And while we're doing some coding, can we get it to import our ratings, etc., from non-iTunes files, such as MediaMonkey?

Re: Cannot import my itunes Playlists

Thanks for this suggestion, but I must be missing something, as I did (I think) exactly as you've suggested, but it doesn't work.

When I drag the iTunes Playlist to the new Spotify list (of the same name) I've just created), nothing happens in Spotify to 'receive' the list, and when I finally let go of the dragged iTunes list, it just floats back to where it came from in iTunes (I'm on a Mac).

Am I missing something. Do I have to export the iTunes list to a file, and import this file into Spotify? I have many, many lists in iTunes...what a bore that would be!
